Lancashire-based Eric Wright Group has announced a rise in pre-tax profits to £10m despite ‘challenging’ conditions in the construction sector.
That figure, for the year ending December 31, 2018, compares to £7.2m in 2017. The property and construction firm also saw its overall turnover rise to £170.4m – up from £159.1m the previous year.
It said the increase was “principally driven” by Applethwaite Homes, its residential division and Eric Wright Civil Engineering.
